PREFACE 

In  preparing  the  first  edition  of  the  Historical  Register  of  Officers  of  the  Con 
tinental  Army,  which  was  published  in  1893,  the  compiler  examined  all  the  records 
then  available  in  the  several  executive  departments  in  Washington  and  supple 
mented  the  data  obtained  from  this  source  by  such  as  could  be  gathered  from 
documents  published  by  the  Government  and  also  those  printed  by  States  and 
individuals. 

An  Act  of  Congress  of  July  27,  1892,  provided  for  the  transfer  to  the  War  De 
partment  for  preservation  and  indexing  of  the  revolutionary  records  in  the  Treas 
ury  and  Interior  Departments,  and  an  Act  of  March  2,  1913,  directed  the  Secre 
tary  of  War  to  collect  or  copy  "the  scattered  military  records  of  the  Revolutionary 
War,"  including  those  of  State  troops,  etc.  Under  those  acts  many  revolu 
tionary  records  were  transferred  to  the  War  Department.  Others  not  in  the 
possession  of  the  Government  were  loaned  to  the  Department  to  be  copied  and 
returned.  As  a  result  of  this  legislation,  the  Government  has  now  a  fair  collec 
tion  of  the  Army  records  of  the  Revolutionary  War. 

This  collection  is,  however,  far  from  complete.  All  official  records  filed  in  the 
War  Department  when  it  was  burned  November  8,  1800,  were  then  destroyed. 
Many  other  records  or  documents  have  been  lost  or  destroyed  through  various 
causes  and  still  others  have  become,  through  lack  of  care,  so  torn  and  mutilated 
as  to  be  of  little  or  no  value  for  reference.  Very  few  rolls  or  other  records  per 
taining  to  the  troops  of  Georgia  and  the  two  Carolinas  have  been  found,  most  of 
them  having  probably  been  captured  or  destroyed  by  the  enemy  during  the  al 
most  continuous  fighting  in  those  States. 

A  good  many  records  are  in  possession  of  historical  or  other  societies,  libraries, 
and  individuals  and  have  not  been  sent  to  the  War  Department  to  be  copied. 
For  these  reasons  a  complete  list  of  the  names  of  all  the  participants  in  that 
glorious  struggle  for  our  independence,  either  of  officers,  or  of  soldiers  who  shoul 
dered  the  musket,  can  never  be  compiled. 

There  are  in  existence  many  records  pertaining  to  the  Militia  during  the  War. 
These  are  fragmentary,  and  an  examination  of  such  of  them  as  could  be  found 
shows  that  they  consist  principally  of  pay  accounts  for  service  for  short  periods 
of  from  two  days  to  three  months,  but  unfortunately  the  dates,  or  even  the  years 
in  which  the  service  was  rendered,  are  rarely  shown. 

The  compiler  was  allowed  access  to  all  the  records  on  file  in  the  War  Depart 
ment  bearing  on  the  Revolutionary  War,  and  this  enabled  him  not  only  to  cor 
rect  and  more  fully  complete  the  data  contained  in  the  former  volume,  but  to 
add  the  names  of  several  thousand  officers  with  a  more  or  less  complete  record 
of  their  services. 

The  records  given  in  this  volume  are  not  strictly  official,  for  much  of  the  data 
has  not  been  obtained  from  official  records,  but  in  order  to  complete  as  far  as 


6  PREFACE; 

possible  the  service  of  each  officer,  other  sources  of  reliable  information  have  been 
consulted  and  the  data  obtained  therefrom  included.  (Many  officers  of  the  Militia 
and  State  troops  who  were  mentioned  by  name  in  reports  of  battles,  campaigns, 
etc.,  or  of  whom  a  list  was  furnished  at  the  time,  appear  in  this  volume.  The 
rank  such  officers  held  at  the  time  mentioned  only  is  stated,  as  many  no  doubt 
attained  subsequently  a  higher  grade.) 

(The  compiler  has  devoted  much  time  and  labor  to  the  preparation  of  this 
work,  in  the  examination  of  records  of  various  sorts  such  as  returns,  rolls,  orderly 
books,  pay  accounts,  etc.,  many  of  which  are  not  in  the  possession  of  the  Govern 
ment,  but  have  been  loaned  to  him  by  societies  and  individuals.) 

This  NEW  EDITION  contains  the  records  of  14,000  Officers,  there  being  6,000 
NEW  names  not  recorded  in  the  former  edition,  and  of  the  8,000  Officers  men 
tioned  in  the  old  edition,  a  great  many  records  have  been  revised,  augmented  and 
completed.

Field  Officers 

OF 

REGIMENTS  OF  THE  CONTINENTAL  LINE 


Note.— The  appointment  of  the  first  and  termination  of  service  of  the  last 
field  officer  of  each  regiment  or  battalion,  as  a  general  rule,  indicates  the  term  of 
service  of  each  organization.  While  many  of  the  regiments  of  the  Continental 
Line  bore  a  numerical  designation,  they  were,  however,  generally  known  and 
designated  in  orders  and  correspondence  by  the  names  of  their  respective  colonels 
or  commanders.  The  term  battalion,  instead  of  regiment,  appears  to  have  been 
the  general  designation. 

The  dates  here  given  are  not  in  all  cases  dates  of  rank,  but  only  the  periods 
they  belonged  to  the  battalion ;  for  date  of  rank  and  continuity  of  service  see 
alphabetical  list. 

It  will  be  observed  that  in  many  cases  the  successive  order  is  somewhat  irregu 
lar,  which  is  owing  to  many  causes,  viz:  absence  of  complete  records;  the  several 
rearrangements  made  by  law:  by  the  authority  of  the  commanding  generals  of  the 
different  departments,  and  by  the  appointment  or  promotion  in  the  place  of  those 
absent  on  detached  duty,  sick,  prisoners  of  war,  etc.,  and  who  on  return  of  such 
absence  were  returned  to  their  former,  or  assigned  to  other,  regiments. 

In  addition  to  the  list  of  regiments  or  battalions  herewith  there  were  others 
belonging  to  the  Continental  Line — the  Pulaski  Legion,  Lee's  battalion  of  Light 
Dragoons,  Armand's  Partisan  Corps,  Corps  of  Engineers,  Sappers  and  Miners,  and 
Rangers,  but  only  few  rolls  or  lists  of  these  are  on  file,  not  sufficient  to  make  an 
approximately  correct  roster  of  field  officers,  hence  they  are  omitted ;  such  names, 
however,  as  were  found  of  these  organizations  appear  in  the  alphabetical  list.

conducted  by  the  officers  of  his  Britan 
nic  majesty,  had  perfidiously  waged 
an  unprovoked  and  cruel  war  against

States,  and  particularly  for  the  well- 
concerted  plan  against  the  British  gar 
risons  in  York  and  Gloucester;  for  the 
vigor,  attention  and  military  skill  with 
which  that  plan  was  executed,  and  for 
the  wisdom  and  prudence  manifested 
in  the  capitulation.  '  *  and  that 

General  Washington  be  directed  to  com 
municate  to  the  officers  and  soldiers 
under  his  command  the  thanks  of  the 
United  States  in  Congress  assembled, 
for  their  conduct  and  valor  on  this 
occasion.  '  *  *  That  two  stands  of 
colors  taken  from  the  British  army 
under  the  capitulation  of  York  be  pre 
sented  '  to  His  Excellency,  General 
Washington,  in  the  name  of  the  United 
States  in  Congress  assembled." 

At  request,  General  Washington  at 
tended  Congress,  26th  August,  1783, 
and,  being  introduced  by  two  members, 
the  President  addressed  him  as  follows: 
"Sir,  Congress  feel  particular  pleasure 
in  seeing  your  Excellency,  and  in  con 
gratulating  you  on  the  success  of  a  war, 
in  which  you  have  acted  so  conspicu 
ous  a  part.  It  has  been  the  singular 
happiness  of  the  United  States  that 
during  a  war  so  long,  so  dangerous 
and  so  important,  Providence  has  been 
graciously  pleased  to  preserve  the  life 
of  a  General,  who  has  merited  and 
possessed  the  uninterrupted  confidence 
and  affection  of  his  fellow-citizens.  In 
other  nations,  many  have  performed 
services,  for  which  they  have  deserved 
and  received  the  thanks  of  the  public. 
But  to  you,  sir,  peculiar  praise  is  due. 
Your  services  have  been  essential  in 
acquiring  and  establishing  the  freedom 
and  independence  of  your  country. 
They  deserve  the  grateful  acknowl 
edgments  of  a  free  and  independent 
nation.  Those  acknowledgments  Con 
gress  have  the  satisfaction  of  express 
ing  to  your  Excellency.  Hostilities 
have  now  ceased,  but  your  country  still 
needs  your  services.  She  wishes  to 
avail  herself  of  your  talents  in  forming 
the  arrangements  which  will  be  neces 
sary  for  her  in  time  of  peace.  For  this 
reason  your  attendance  at  Congress  has 
been  requested.  A  committee  is  ap 
pointed  to  confer  with' your  Excellency, 
and  to  receive  your  assistance  in  pre 
paring  and  digesting  plans  relative  to 
those  important  objects. 

To  which  His  Excellency  made  the 
following  reply: 

"Mr.  President:  I  am  too  sensible 
of  the  honorable  reception  I  have  now 
experienced,  not  to  be  penetrated  with 
the  deepest  feelings  of  gratitude.  Not 
withstanding  Congress  appear  to  esti 
mate  the  value  of  my  life  beyond  any 


services  I  have  been  able  to  render 
the  United  States,  yet  I  must  be  per 
mitted  to  consider  the  wisdom  and 
unanimity  of  our  national  councils,  the 
firmness  of  our  citizens  and  the  patience 
and  bravery  of  our  troops,  which  have 
produced  so  happy  a  termination  of  the 
war,  as  the  most  conspicuous  effect  of 
the  Divine  interposition,  and  the  surest 
presage  of  our  future  happiness.  Highly 
gratified  by  the  favorable  sentiments 
which  Congress  are  pleased  to  express 
of  my  past  conduct,  and  amply  re 
warded  by  the  confidence  and  affec 
tion  of  my  fellow-citizens,  I  cannot  hesi 
tate  to  contribute  my  best  endeavors 
towards  the  establishment  of  the  na 
tional  security  in  whatever  manner  the 
sovereign  power  may  think  proper  to 
direct,  until  the  ratification  of  the  defi 
nite  treaty  of  peace,  or  the  final  evacu 
ation  of  our  country  by  the  British 
forces;  after  either  of  which  events,  I 
shall  ask  permission  to  retire  to  the 
peaceful  shade  of  private  life.  Perhaps, 
sir,  no  occasion  may  offer  more  suitable 
than  the  present  to  express  my  hum 
ble  thanks  to  God,  and  acknowledg 
ments  to  my  country,  for  the  great 
and  uniform  support  I  have  received 
in  every  vicissitude  of  fortune,  and  for 
the  many  distinguished  honors  which 
Congress  have  been  pleased  to  confer 
upon  me  in  the  course  of  the  war." 

In  Congress,  December,  23,  1783. 

According  to  order,  His  Excellency, 
the  Commander-in-Chief,  was  admitted 
to  a  public  audience,  and  being  seated, 
the  President,  after  a  pause,  informed 
him  that  the  United  States,  in  Congress 
assembled,  were  prepared  to  receive  his 
communications;  whereupon  he  arose 
and  addressed  them  as  follows: 

"Mr.  President:  The  great  events 
on  which  my  resignation  depended  hav 
ing  at  length  taken  place,  I  have  now 
the  honor  of  offering  my  sincere  con 
gratulations  to  Congress,  and  of  pre 
senting  myself  before  them  to  surren 
der  into  their  hands  the  trust  com 
mitted  to  me,  and  to  claim  the  indul 
gence  of  retiring  from  the  service  of 
my  country. 

"Happy  in  the  confirmation  of  our 
independence  and  sovereignty  and 
pleased  with  the  opportunity  afforded 
the  United  States  of  becoming  a  re 
spectable  nation,  I  resign  with  satis 
faction  the  appointment  I  accep-ted 
with  diffidence  in  my  abilities  to  ac 
complish  so  arduous  a  task;  which, 
however,  was  superseded  by  a  confi 
dence  in  the  rectitude  of  our  cause, 
the  support  of  the  supreme  power  of 


Washington

Washington 


the  Union  and  the  patronage  of 
Heaven. 

"The  successful  termination  of  the 
war  has  verified  the  most  sanguine  ex 
pectations;  and  my  gratitude  for  the 
interposition  of  Providence  and  the 
assistance  I  have  received  from  my 
countrymen,  increases  with  every  re 
view  of  the  momentous  contest. 

"While  I  repeat  my  obligations  to 
the  army  in  general,  I  should  do  injus 
tice  to  my  feelings  not  to  acknowledge 
in  this  place  the  peculiar  services  and 
distinguished  merits  of  the  gentlemen 
who  have  been  attached  to  my  person 
during  the  war.  It  was  impossible 
the  choice  of  confidential  officers  to 
compose  my  family  should  have  been 
more  fortunate.  Permit  me,  sir,  to 
recommend  in  particular  those  who 
have  continued  in  the  service  to  the 
present  moment  as  worthy  of  the 
favorable  notice  and  patronage  of 
Congress. 

"I  consider  it  an  indispensible  duty  to 
close  this  last  act  of  my  official  life  by 
commending  the  interests  of  our  dear 
est  country  to  the  protection  of  Al 
mighty  God,  and  those  who  have  the 
superintendence  of  them  to  His  holy 
keeping. 

"Having  now  finished  the  work  as 
signed  me  I  retire  from  the  great  thea 
tre  of  action,  and  bidding  an  affection 
ate  farewell  to  this  august  body,  under 
whose  orders  I  have  so  long  acted,  I 
here  offer  my  commission  and  take 
my  leave  of  all  the  employments  of 
public  life." 

He  then  advanced  and  delivered  to 
the  President  his  commission,  with  a 
copy  of  his  address,  and,  having  re 
sumed  his  place,  the  President  returned 
him  the  following  answer: 

"Sir:  The  United  States  in  Congress 
assembled,  receive  with  emotions,  too 
affecting  for  utterance,  the  solemn 
resignation  of  the  authorities  under 
which  you  have  led  their  troops  with 
success  through  a  perilous  and  a  doubt 
ful  war.  Called  upon  by  your  country 
to  defend  its  invaded  rights,  you  ac 
cepted  the  sacred  charge  before  it  had 
formed  alliances  and  whilst  it  was  with 
out  funds  or  a  government  to  support 
you.  You  have  conducted  the  great 
military  contest  with  wisdom  and  forti 
tude,  invariably  regarding  the  rights  of 
the  civil  power  through  all  disasters 
and  changes.  You  have,  by  the  love 
and  confidence  of  your  fellow-citizens, 
enabled  them  to  display  their  martial 
genius,  and  transmit  their  fame  to 
posterity.  You  have  persevered  till 
these  United  States,  aided  by  a  mag 


nanimous  king  and  nation,  have  been 
enabled,  under  a  just  Providence,  to 
close  the  war  in  freedom,  safety  and  in 
dependence;  on  which  happy  event  we 
sincerely  join  you  in  congratulations. 

Having  defended  the  standard  of 
liberty  in  this  new  world ;  having  taught 
a  lesson  useful  to  those  who  inflict  and 
to  those  who  feel  oppression,  you  re 
tire  from  the  great  theatre  of  action, 
with  the  blessings  of  your  fellow-citi 
zens,  but  the  glory  of  your  virtues  will 
not  terminate  with  your  military  com 
mand,  it  will  continue  to  animate  re 
motest  ages. 

"We  feel  with  you  our  obligations  to 
the  army  in  general,  and  will  particu 
larly  charge  ourselves  with  the  inter 
ests  of  those  confidential  officers  who 
have  attended  your  person  to  this  af 
fecting  moment. 

"We  join  you  in  commending  the 
interests  of  our  dearest  country  to  the 
protection  of  Almighty  God,  beseeching 
Him  to  dispose  the  hearts  and  minds 
of  its  citizens,  to  improve  the  oppor 
tunity  afforded  them,  of  becoming  a 
happy  and  respectable  nation.  And  for 
you,  we  address  to  Him  our  earnest 
prayers,  that  a  life  so  beloved  may  be 
fostered  with  all  His  care,  and  that 
your  days  may  be  happy  as  they  have 
been  illustrious,  and  that  He  will  finally 
give  you  that  reward  which  this  world 
cannot  give."

By  the  United  States  in  Congress  Assembled. 

A  PROCLAMATION! 

Whereas,  in  the  progress  of  an  arduous  and  difficult  war,  the  armies  of 
the  United  States  of  America  have  eminently  displayed  every  military  and 
patriotic  virtue,  and  are  not  less  to  be  applauded  for  their  fortitude  and  mag 
nanimity  in  the  most  trying  scenes  of  distress  than  for  a  series  of  heroic  and 
illustrious  achievements,  which  exalt  them  to  a  high  rank  among  the  most 
zealous  and  successful  defenders  of  the  rights  and  liberties  of  mankind:  And, 
whereas,  by  the  blessing  of  Divine  Providence  on  our  cause  and  our  arms,  the 
glorious  period  is  arrived  when  our  national  independence  and  sovereignty  are 
established,  and  we  enjoy  the  prospect  of  a  permanent  and  honorable  peace; 
we,  therefore,  the  United  States,  in  Congress  assembled,  thus  impressed  with  a 
lively  sense  of  the  distinguished  merit  and  good  conduct  of  the  said  armies,  do 
give  them  the  thanks  of  their  country  for  their  long,  eminent  and  faithful  services. 
And  it  is  our  will  and  pleasure  that  such  part  of  the  Federal  armies  as  stands 
engaged  to  serve  during  the  war,  and  as  by  our  acts  of  the  26th  day  of  May,  the 
llth  day  of  June,  the  9th  day  of  August,  and  the  26th  day  of  September  last 
were  furloughed,  shall,  from  and  after  the  3d  day  of  November  next,  be  absolutely 
discharged,  by  virtue  of  this  our  proclamation  from  the  said  service,  and  we  do 
declare  that  the  further  services  in  the  field  of  the  officers  who  are  deranged  and 
on  furlough  in  consequence  of  our  aforesaid  acts  can  now  be  dispensed  with,  and 
they  have  our  full  permission  to  retire  from  service,  without  being  longer  liable 
from  their  present  engagements  to  be  called  into  command.  And  of  such  dis 
charge  and  permission  to  retire  from  service  respectively  all  our  officers,  civil  and 
military,  and  all  others  whom  it  may  concern,  are  required  to  take  notice  and  to 
govern  themselves  accordingly. 

Given  under  the  seal  of  the  United  States,  in  Congress  assembled,  witness  His 
Excellency,  ELIAS  BOUDINOT,  our  President  in  Congress,  this  18th  day  of  October, 
in  the  year  of  our  Lord  1783,  and  of  the  sovereignty  and  independence  of  the 
United  States  of  America  the  eighth.  *

LIST  OF  FRENCH  OFFICERS 


THAT  SERVED  WITH  THE 


AMERICAN  ARMY, 


I  am  indebted  to  the  Pennsylvania  Historical  Society  for  this  list,  who  kindly 
permitted  me  to  make  certain  extracts  from  the  original,  which  is  in  French, 
not  arranged  as  here,  as  it  was  deemed  best  to  follow  the  alphabetical  style  of 
the  book,  and  also  omitted  other  irrevelant  matter,  following,  however,  as  near 
the  original  in  the  personal  history  of  each  officer  as  possible.  The  original 
manuscript  was  obtained  for  Mr.  William  B.  Reed  (who  presented  the  same  to 
the  Pennsylvania  Historical  Society)  by  the  Honorable  Richard  Rush,  while 
Minister  at  Paris,  and  was  accompanied  by  the  following  note: 


JUNE,  25th,  1849. 

SIR:  To  comply  with  the  wish  you  expressed  in  the  note,  which  was  delivered 
to  me  by  Mr.  Perkins,  I  hastened  to  search,  according  to  the  very  expressions 
of  the  note,  for  the  names  of  the  French  officers  who  served  in  the  Revolutionary 
War  of  the  United  States  of  America.  It  was  in  vain,  unfortunately,  that  I 
searched  for  the  muster-rolls  at  the  Minister e  de  la  Marine,  or  at  the  Depot,  and 
in  the  Archives  de  la  Guerre,  looking  through  a  great  number  of  volumes  and 
boxes.  Appreciating,  however,  the  high  feeling  that  inspired  the  request,  I  was 
not  willing  to  be  conquered  by  difficulties,  and  thought  that  with  time  and 
perseverance  it  would  be  possible  to  supply  the  absence  of  the  muster-rolls.  The 
papers,  which  I  have  the  honor  to  address  you,  will  explain  to  you  how  I 
proceeded  to  attain  that  end.  Taking  the  names  of  some  officers  well-known  as 
having  contributed  to  the  liberty  of  the  United  States,  I  conceived  that  I  could 
find  in  their  Etats  de  Services  the  different  actions  in  which  our  troops  had 
distinguished  themselves,  and  thus  know  the  time  when  the  notes  for  the  rewards 
to  be  conferred  on  those  who  had  deserved  well  of  the  two  countries  had  been 
prepared  in  the  Ministers'  offices.  This  partly  succeeded  and  brought  me  after 
wards  to  look  for  the  muster-rolls  of  the  corps  to  which  belonged  the  officers  who 
had  signalized  themselves;  but  though  I  have  added  many  names  to  my  lists 
from  that  source,  I  cannot  say  that  they  are  complete,  for  I  could  not  conclude 
from  the  muster-rolls  themselves  that  all  the  officers  belonging  to  the  corps  had 
been  present  in  America.  The  regiments  not  having  sent  very  often  more  than 
a  detachment,  and  the  detachments  sometimes  having  served  only  on  shipboard, 
I  could  not  designate  an  officer  as  having  served  in  the  American  War,  unless 
the  fact  had  been  indicated  in  some  note  concerning  that  time,  and  so  I  was 
obliged  to  confine  myself  to  inscribing  the  names  of  the  officers  whom  I  could 
positively  ascertain  to  have  been  engaged  in  the  war. 


I  hope,  sir,  these  lists,  however  incomplete,  will  not  be  without  interest  for  the 
history  of  the  two  countries,  nor  do  I  regret  the  three  weeks  I  have  given  to 
collecting  them,  though  I  may  have  been  fatigued  at  moments  by  the  dryness  of 
the  task.  I  beg  you,  sir,  to  observe,  that  if  I  have  not  found  the  whole  as  you 
desired,  I  have  succeeded  at  least  in  that  which  was  most  important,  having 
recovered  from  oblivion  the  names  of  all  those  whom  their  good  behavior,  their 
talents,  and  courage  had  rendered  most  conspicuous.  On  the  other  side,  as  a 
mere  name  is  not  signficant  enough  and  does  not  sufficiently  particularize  a  family 
and  a  man,  you  will  be  pleased,  no  doubt,  to  find  that  to  each  officer's  name  I 
have  added  the  date  and  the  place  of  his  birth,  and  some  other  details  contained  in 
the  rolls.  This  I  know  was  not  in  the  directions  given  me,  but  being  occupied 
with  historical  works  myself  I  thought  it  would  be  agreeable  to  the  historian  to 
whom  these  notes  are  destined,  nor  will  I  neglect  to  apprise  him  that  in  the 
course  of  my  researches  I  have  found  some  documents  concerning  the  Inde 
pendence  War,  which  I  have  not  seen  quoted  elsewhere.  I  have  the  honor  to 
be,  sir,  yours,  most  respectfully,

CONTINENTAL  ARMY  BREVETS. 

The  following  resolution  was  passed  by  the  Continental  Congress  September 
30,  1783  : 

On  the  report  of  a  Committee,  consisting  of  Mr.  McHenry,  Mr.  Peters,  and 
Mr.  Bland,  to  whom  was  referred  a  letter  of  15th  May,  from  the  Secretary  of  War : 

Resolved,  That  the  Secretary  of  War  issue  to  all  officers  in  the  Army,  under 
the  rank  of  major-general,  who  hold  the  same  rank  now  that  they  held  in  the  year 
1777,  a  brevet  commission  one  grade  higher  than  their  present  rank,  having  respect 
to  their  seniority;  and  that  commissions  for  full  colonels  be  granted  to  the  lieut- 
tenant-colonels  of  1777,  the  resolution  of  2?th  May,  1778,  notwithstanding. 

On  the  report  of  a  Committee,  consisting  of  Mr.  McHenry,  Mr.  Peters,  and  Mr. 
Duane,  to  whom  were  referred  a  letter  from  Captain  Second,  and  sundry  other 
papers : 

Resolved,  That  Captains  Second  and  De  Pontiere,  late  of  Pulaski's  legion,  be 
promoted  to  the  rank  of  majors  by  brevet  in  the  army  of  the  United  States;  their 
relative  rank  to  be  settled  according  to  the  dates  of  their  present  commissions. 

Resolved,  That  Lieutenant  Beaulieu  be  promoted  to  the  rank  of  captain  by 
brevet  in  the  Army  of  the  United  States. 

On  a  report  from  the  Secretary  of  War : 

Resolved,  That  the  brevet  commission  of  major  in  the  army  of  the  United 
States  issue  to  Captain  Haskell,  Aide-de-Camp  to  Major-General  R.  Howe. 

On  the  report  of  a  Committee,  consisting  of  Mr.  McHenry,  Mr.  Hawkins,  and 
Mr.  Madison,  to  whom  was  referred  a  memorial  of  Lieutenant  Edward  Phelon : 

Whereas  Lieutenant  Edward  Phelon,  of  the  4th  Massachusetts  Regiment,  hath, 
by  his  memorial  set  forth,  that  while  he  was  fighting  for  the  liberties  of  the  United 
States,  he  received  several  wounds,  under  which  he  has  for  four  years  past  borne 
the  most  excruciating  pains;  and  that  during  that  time  he  has  been  without  any 
other  support  from  the  public  than  what  has  been  given  to  other  officers  in  full 
health,  and  that  he  is  still  a  cripple ;  and  whereas  the  facts  above  set  forth  are  cer 
tified  to  be  true  in  all  their  parts  by  eleven  of  the  general  officers  of  the  army, 
who  have  moreover  recommended  him  as  having  served  with  reputation  to  himself 
and  advantage  to  the  United  States,  and  as  deserving  the  favor  and  confidence  of 
Congress :  therefore, 

Resolved,  That  the  Secretary  of  War  issue  to  Lieutenant  E.  Phelon  a  commis 
sion  of  captain  in  the  Army  of  the  United  States. 


The  Continental  Army  was  finally  disbanded,  to  take  effect  November  3,  1783, 
by  a  proclamation  of  the  Continental  Congress  of  October  18,  1783.  (See  page  66, 
this  volume.) 

It  would  appear  that  the  larger  part,  if  not  all,  of  the  Continental  Army,  was,  at 
the  time  of  disbandment,  on  furlough.

NUMBER  OF  TROOPS  FURNISHED 


DURING  THE 


WAR  OF  THE  REVOLUTION 

By  the  SEVERAL  STATES 


The  exact  number  of  men  in  the  Continental  Establishment,  furnished  by 
each  State  in  the  War  of  the  Revolution,  is  not  known,  but  an  approximate 
estimate  made  by  Colonel  Pierce,  Paymaster-General  of  the  Continental  Army, 
and  the  Treasury  Accountants,  in  1787,  is  as  shown  in  the  first  column  of  this 
table.  In  addition,  however,  all  the  States  furnished  regiments  or  independent 
battalions  or  companies  of  State  Troops,  Militia,  Rangers,  Riflemen,  &c.,  for  brief 
services,  who  were  called  out  to  assist  the  Continental  Army  in  emergencies,  or 
who  were  raised  to  protect  and  defend  their  own  States,  many  of  whom  were  in 
service  at  two  or  more  different  periods.  The  exact  number  thus  furnished  can 
not  be  given,  but  upon  examination  of  various  estimates,  I  believe  the  figures 
shown  in  the  second  column  of  the  table  to  be,  in  round  figures,  approximately 
correct :

The  total  here  given  is  excessive  as  to  the  number  that  served  in  the  army, 
for  many  served  two,  three  and  even  four  terms.  Many  of  the  men  who  entered 
the  service  in  1775,  re-entered  in  1776,  again  in  1777,  and  again  in  1780,  and  were 
therefore  counted  two,  three,  or  four  times,  and  from  the  best  information  attain 
able  it  is  fair  to  assume  that  the  number  of  individuals  actually  engaged  in  the 
military  service  during  the  war  did  not  exceed  250,000.
